"For the past decade, I've been putting together a summer list of the NFL's most overrated and most underrated players. What I've come to notice the past few years is that it's much harder to find overrated players than it was 10 years ago.

The league doesn't allow players to get to that point much anymore. Not with the salary cap and the current system in place, which makes it so much tougher for veterans to hang on when it's a lot cheaper to keep a kid.

The instant era of Twitter, Facebook and knee-jerk reactions now helps to make guys overrated, more so than the hanging on, but it's tougher than it used to be. That's for sure.

The flip side is there are a lot of underrated players, guys who don't get the due they deserve." ...

The most underrated Bear.............Jay Cutler?????? Jay is a lightning rod for both homers and haters, but I would never call him underrated. It's like the headlines in todays sports section "Cutler's going to have best season yet." He's getting some love this offseason from writers who in the past were critics. For me it still comes down to I will believe it when I see it.
